Retreat

So a friend of mine (Taylor Worley, in the picture above with his wife Anna) and I were called in last min. to speak on a retreat this past weekend. We decided to talk about the holistic nature of redemption and what that means for Christian mission. Well, I don't think it went off so great. Taylor had planned to do a bunch of cultural analysis, but upon arriving, we didn't think that they were ready for that quite yet. Hopefully, we chipped away at some dualistic thinking and at least gave them something to chew on. I just wanted one student to say, "Oh, I get it, my work is important and work is part of what God came to redeem." Didn't happen. Time will tell.
